Nor to understand the basics of how copyright works. My favourite version of this same argument is the one where faculty believe that they own the copyright of their students' notes...because students are writing down short form paraphrases of what the instructor said and did in class, the instructor imagines that they can tell students who they can and can't show their notes to, or whether or not those notes can go online. Unfortunately for them...no. Students own the copyright to their own notes (http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?navby=search&case=/data2/circs/11th/942157opa.html), even if there's nothing "original" in them.
